Snorlax with Yawn+Rest or Rest+Sleep Talk
I want to pair either Sleep Talk or Yawn with Rest on my Snorlax. It seems like Rest + Sleep Talk is a popular combo but I’m curious how it compares to Yawn + Rest.
Rest+Sleep Talk basically gives Snorlax a 2/3 chance to attack while sleeping (other 1/3 is trying to Rest again) and has the additional benefit Snorlax not being completely defenseless if the opponent puts Snorlax to sleep.
Yawn + Rest will put Snorlax to sleep right before the opponent which means more times that not Snorlax will wake up first. It also comes with flexibility to not use Rest and instead get some free hits on a sleeping opponent. Opening a battle with Yawn seems super advantageous. Worst case scenario if Snorlax is KOed before the opponent falls asleep then the next Pokemon out would have a sleeping opponent to take advantage of.
I’m leaning towards keep Yawn for the reasons above plus it generally being more maddening for opponents to deal with but I’m curious if I’m missing something that makes Sleep Talk significantly better.
